About Mezek Thracian Tomb and Medieval Fortress

The Mezek tomb is a Thracian domed tomb of the Mycenaean type, dated to the 4th–3rd century BC. It lies under the Mal-tepe mound at the edge of the village of Mezek, near Svilengrad, and is one of the largest Thracian tombs in Bulgaria.

The Mezek fortress was built in the 11th and 12th centuries on a terrace at the foot of the eastern Rhodopes, west of the village. It is identified with the medieval Neoutzikon and guarded the border; its walls and towers are well preserved.
